A disturbing video from Uttar Pradesh shows a man trapped under a moving truck, with his head sticking out and his bike caught beneath it. The man is heard screaming for help as the truck continues to accelerate.
The incident occurred on the Agra highway. The man, identified as Zakir, is seen gesturing to a biker for help while the truck speeds on, according to a 36-second video clip.
Zakir, one of the two victims, was later found in the hospital with bruises on his face. He recalled the horrifying moment: "We screamed a lot, but he didn't stop and dragged us along," he said.
"We were heading home after eating when the truck hit the accelerator as we passed. Our bike got stuck under it, and so did my leg."

A senior police official confirmed, "A video of this incident is going viral on social media. A case has been filed against the truck driver, and he has been arrested. The person who was dragged has been admitted to the hospital."
